I’ve been a subscriber for a while so I may be gifting a lot of this 🙁 I REALLY hope I get a box with jewelry because it wouldn’t be a duplicate for me (I’ve ordered 2 of these, my odds are ok?). I’d be happy with boxes 3,5,7. I would be least happy with boxes 4, 2, 6.

Well, there are more box variations than I suspected. I agree that they aren’t nearly as good as the last Mystery box batch. I would love the box with the earrings or the heartbeat necklace but both of my boxes are 6.2 (as of now) out of NY. I have a feeling the earrings and necklace will be out of CA. : (

I have to admit I am disappointed too and I feel already regret that I bought two. I think the content of some of the boxes show not enough variation and even if I only bought two boxes I expect to receive duplicates. Especially because both of my boxes are coming from the same warehouse. The last mystery box was so much fun, that one is kind of boring 🙁

Me too…and I bought two! ? Basically I don’t want ANYTHING in ANY of those boxes! This was my first popsugar try….I thought ok, I’ll try it, then I heard everyone going on and on how they’d bought duplicates…so I did too….not thinking I’m gonna be thrilled! ?

I also got two of the #6 box. I don’t do postcards, or bubble baths. I already have a bingo from the previous box it came in. So, now I can add two more to my collection, yay (sarcasm). Oh, one of my boxes failed to come with the bottle opener. I was really hoping for a scarf or hat 🙁

The dimensions listed in my FedEx tracking (13x13x13) were wrong, just fyi – there’s no way this box was a cube. Also, of course, my bubble elixir came open in one of the boxes and (to add injury to insult) it was so heavy it popped open the bag of chips, resulting in soapy chips everywhere.

It actually turned out the bubble elixir was intact. I figured it had come open because of the amount of oil marks, but after I unwrapped it, apparently it was fine and those chips are just suuuuper oily. I feel a little silly complaining to them about $1.50 chips, but I had planned on gifting most of the items in the box and now they’re super oily and completely covered in crumbs. I can probably clean them off, but I don’t want to have to open everything to make sure it’s clean, you know?

I actually quite like the Bingo set, too. I already have one, but I’d be so happy to get another—there aren’t enough cards in the one set for us to switch around when we play, so a second would be perfect! (I’m probably the only person who would be so happy to get the bingo) 😉

Sarahfromdallas, that is my second to last choice, so if I get that one, I’ll def swap with you. (Yes, I made an Excel sheet to organize which I prefer most, and the probability that I’ll get certain items lol)

Please box 3…please not 6!!! So I already started thinking what I’m goi g to do with the contents of box 6!! Lol…that’s the way it goes…I have so much mascara and normally hate it but the amplify mascara is life changing…

I’d be happyy with boxes 1, 2, or 4-6, just hoping to not have 9 or 10! With my boxes being 3.5 lbs, I’m guessing I won’t get any of the variations with the Bingo game. I’m glad I ordered two, even if it means getting two skinny scarves. :-/

Same here…was so pleased with the 3 I got last time that I bought 5 this time around…and am so bummed. There’s really not much in any of these boxes that excites me.What’s more is that all of mine are listed as 3.5 lb, from CA…if I get 5 of the exact same boxes, I’m going to be sooooo annoyed. Clearly they had a massive excess of the skinny scarf, as it’s in almost every box variation…just what I need, 5 more scarves to sit around with the one I already don’t wear…

I did the same thing. Bought 3 boxes last time and wished I had bought more, so I bought 5 this time. I’m going to receive 5 of those stupid scarves, and all my boxes have the same weight of 2.1 pounds, and the same dimension of 10x8x4. I expected a few repeats, but nothing like this. I just know whoever sent my boxes was evilly laughing while sending me 5 of the same crappy box. Happy Halloween to me. LOL

OH That cracked me UP! But don’t fret! You can totally swap for the bubble bath. Swaps are just a click away on the top of this very screen… farthest right column. (And since you got 5 boxes, that means you’ll have loads of items to swap. So that’s a bright side!) Now just put the skinny scarves down and take 10 deep breaths. Haha!

I have two of the exact same thing as you…at least if it is 3.5 pounds it won’t be that bingo game! But sending the exact same boxes for the order is not cool. Now I just have to figure out whom to gift the same items to that won’t talk to each other! I got burned by the last Popsugar LE box and two sets of crappy headphones. No way am I ordering the NM box!!!

Okay, so I’m not exactly famous for thinking positive, but honestly, I will be super stoked for any of these for $25. Anything I don’t love goes in a stocking, anything I do love is just gravy. And at $5/item (NO I DO NOT COUNT SNACKS IN MY MATHS, THOSE BELONG IN BELLIES NOT IN CALCULATORS), it’s a win any way you look at it.

I completely agree with Lindsay! They really did a pretty good job of balancing each box with a mix of good things and meh things but for only $25, I would pretty much be happy with any of them. The value is definitely there. I didn’t order one this time because the last round, I got two and they were both disappointments. But now seeing this post I wish I had taken the chance. I hope everyone that ordered loves what you get!

Same. I refuse to look at what is inside any of them until I open mine. Its gonna be hard to beat the last box I got but most will likely given away for Christmas…. Wherever is inside I know it’s over 25 dollars and I know someone who will be perfect for each thing… Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

I assume the heavier boxes have the Bingo game, that sucker is seriously heavy! The only ones I want are any with the candle or heartbeat necklace since I missed those boxes! Anyone who gets the heartbeat, I’d be open to buy…

Hi Krystyn! If I get that necklace, I will swap it. My swap name is I_like_big_swaps! If you want to follow my listings until we know if I got it, I have a zebra bangle listed (not that many listed, so you can find me). I would prefer to swap for some kind of jewelry item (like for like), but I am somewhat flexible. Cheers!

My box shipped from NY weighing 2.1 and it was variation #8. I haven’t subscribed for a few months so I didn’t get any dupes. I am happy with my box. My favorite would have been variation #9. I wanted to try the wipes, bubble bath since I use it regularly, and like the earrings.

My box is 6.3lbs so i think I will be getting the box with bingo and bubble bath. Like everyone else I’m not excited about the bingo but for $25 the rest looks really good. The bubble bath I got from the last mystery box is almost done, I do like like hair mask, an extra phone charger (these are great for flights/power outages), extra bottle opener, and I actually think the post it’s are cute.

My two are 6.2 and 6.3. So I’m guessing the book is in one lol I’ll admit I liked the first round of mystery boxes better, but these will still be useful. I like to do little gift baskets so all my excess still serves a purpose!

Awesome, I will have 4 scarves now. I can just see the swap site… 218 scarves – like the hat. I wanted one of these so bad, I bid on eBay and ended up winning two. I’ve never worn them. I just swapped for the hat so maybe I’ll wear it around my neck instead of my head?
I’m actaully surprised by the number of variations. Based on comments from those that already received theirs and them being exact duplicates. Very interested to hear which boxes were coming out of California. There’s not one box combo that I’m in love with, so hopefully there are people wanting some of this on the swap site.
I do hope everyone gets something they want. I’m hoping for the conditioner, charger, post it’s and… maybe a candle.

Bummer was really hoping for a yoga mat or the spark joy book. My weights make me think I’m getting Bingo…. 2 sets of Bingo. One of my weights still has a chance to change from 6.2; but the other is a confirmed 6.2. Oh well.

I would be SO bummed if I got boxes 1-5 which means of course I will get one of those boxes. Boxes 6-10 at least all have something I love: the candle, the bubble bath, or the Kendra Scott earrings. But maybe with so many of those candles coming out there will finally be some more on swap?

second this, yes please!
I’ve got 2 boxes coming, and it looks like chances are high I’ll get at least a few things I won’t be over the moon about. That’s fine. Good for gifting, but definitely less awesome than the first mystery box. Still, it’s hard to complain about the price/value ratio.

Oh I really really wanted the folio sticky notes and the lipstick power bank!! Happy to see them being included, but worried I may not get them… mine is only 2.1lb from NY, so that probably rules out the ones with bingo set and the book?

I have 5 on the way! Somehow, this reveal is not as exciting as the last time. All of mine are coming from Watsonville, all weigh 3.5 lbs.
I like the hair mask, I’d love the Marie Kondo book, blush etc.
Thank God there’s no pecan mustard! ?
